Georgian Mahogany Sofa Chaise Longue

18th century

Sold by Prior and Willis

Description

Georgian mahogany sofa that could also be used as a hall bench or settle. Rare and attractive....better than most....lovely clean lines and attractive design of the front legs and arms. Very classy and elegant, dating from the early 19th Century. Includes new sumptuous feather seat cushion. The sofa has recently been reupholstered in a heavy weight upholstery fabric, with a natural, light cream/oatmeal colour. Very heavy and strong, with no loose joints.

As with all genuine antique furniture, you can expect to see some historic knocks, marks, wear, imperfections, cracks, scratches, repairs and/or alterations. Period dissimilar castors with some wear (as you would expect). This type of fabric contains the odd slub or fleck of cotton of a different colour picked up in the loom during manufacture. This is normal for all but the most expensive fabrics and not very noticeable except under close examination in bright lighting conditions. There are some historic extinct woodworm holes that have been treated for good measure.

Overall maximum dimensions: 182cm wide, 65cm deep, 84cm high (40cm high seat without cushion).

Please check dimensions before purchasing.
